A '''commodate''' ({{langx|la|commodatum}}), also known as '''loan for use''',<ref>{{cite news|title='Burdensome administration' means young farmers are missing out on EU subsidies |first=Natasha |last=Foote |publisher=[EURACTIV](/source/EURACTIV) | date=18 November 2019 |url=https://www.euractiv.com/section/agriculture-food/news/burdensome-administration-means-young-farmers-are-missing-out-on-eu-subsidies/}}</ref> in [civil law](/source/Civil_law_(legal_system)) and [Scots Law](/source/Scots_Law) is a gratuitous [loan](/source/loan); a loan, or free concession of anything [moveable](/source/Personal_property) or immoveable, for a certain timeframe, on condition of restoring again the same individual after a certain time.

It is a kind of loan, or [contract](/source/contract), with one difference: the commodate is ''gratis'', and does not transfer the property; the thing must be returned in essence, and without deterioration, so that things which consume by use, or time, cannot be objects of a commodate, but of a loan, because although they may be returned in kind, they cannot in identity.
